Chapter 118: The rise of the Premier League, the decline of Serie A

Degan's hat-trick, combined with Bale's icing on the cake, resulted in a big win for Tottenham on the road, a scoreline that was both a normal result and a surprise result for both teams.

Before the game, although people were more optimistic about Tottenham Hotspur with Digan to win, Juventus is also a Serie A giant, although it has experienced the blow of the phonegate incident, but last season won the league championship, it can basically be announced that the former Serie A hegemon has returned.

However, as the Serie A champion, the 4-0 loss to last season's fourth place in the Premier League, this score once again confirms the rise of the Premier League and the decline of Serie A.

If you want to talk about the rise of the Premier League, you have to mention the previous brilliant Serie A, the glory of Serie A was in the mid-to-early 90s, when Italian teams entered the Champions League final for nine consecutive years, and the Milan dynasty became a swan song.

After entering the 21st century, the Serie A teams once supported the situation with the golden dollar policy, and Lazio, Roma, and the traditional top three in the north have had a period of crazy money-burning era.

However, the subsequent debt crisis led to the relegation of Fiorentina, and Parma and Lazio collapsed, the former was accompanied by relegation all day long, and the latter occasionally had a small fight, and the seven sisters have withered three flowers so far.

Roma's economic situation is not very ideal, the Sensi family has been struggling to support, and the club has always tightened their belts to get by, and even couldn't even enter the European zone for a while.

In addition, the top three in the north, leaning on the back. The economic support of the Taiwan boss will not end up in the fate of the above four teams, but it is far from the previous year's spending of 100 million.

It should be said that the economic decline is the root cause of the weakening of the Italian league, and after that, the outbreak of phone gates, Juventus and AC Milan were greatly damaged, and the attractiveness of the entire league was greatly reduced, which made the Serie A league plagued by the economic crisis even worse.

In terms of the team's specific record, in fact, from 1999 to 2002, during the turbulent era of Europe, none of the Serie A teams entered the Champions League final, and there were very few teams that entered the top four.

Therefore, in 2003, the three Serie A teams entered the semi-finals, which was considered the end of the strong crossbow, and in the following years, only AC Milan and Fiorentina with Digan were struggling to support in the European arena, and the other teams did not even enter the semi-finals.

After Juventus was relegated, although it soon returned to Serie A, but its vitality was greatly damaged, Inter Milan was suppressed by Fiorentina in the domestic arena, and it was still the one who couldn't afford to hold Adou in the European arena, leaving an impression on the European arena, only firecrackers, brawls, and red cards, so Fiorentina's unprecedented triple championship is brilliant even if it is brilliant, but at best it is only a return to the light after the end of the strong crossbow.

In the last two seasons, without the superstar of Digan, the Italian team has completely collapsed on the European stage, and the weakening of Serie A has become an indisputable fact.

While Serie A is in decline, the Premier League's strength in recent years has been a huge replicate of the glory of Serie A in the 90s, with teams reaching the last four of the Champions League every year from Liverpool's trophy lift in 2005 until last season, while at the same time, the Premier League is becoming increasingly attractive to players.

At that time, Serie A could have the reputation of the small World Cup, a big reason is that most of the stars in the World Cup are playing in the Italian league, if the Premier League can retain the existing stars in the future, on the basis of attracting more stars, it will undoubtedly further expand the appeal of fans.

Economic strength is the foundation of commercial football, and the Premier League operates differently than the continental leagues, borrowing some models from the NBA in many ways.

The Premier League not only has one of the world's top club brands such as Manchester United, but also the brand of the entire league is increasing day by day, and the huge economic benefits brought by the success of the league directly benefit the clubs in the middle and lower reaches.

For example, the Serie A giants AC Milan, they are all used to tightening the monetary base, relying on visa-free messing around.

Compared with the original Serie A, the current Premier League still has an advantage, the fierce competition between the four giants and the brand effect caused by it, the virtuous circle is better than the previous Serie A.

In Italy in the 90s, first the Milan dynasty, after 1995, AC Milan declined, Juventus rose, and other teams have always been small fights.

The Premier League is different, except for Chelsea in the stable period, the other three are on the rise, Arsenal, Manchester United needless to say, Liverpool in the second half of last season, the style of play is becoming more and more mature, and the styles of the four giants are all different, Arsenal and Manchester United are even more unique, and the overall competitiveness is stronger than that of Italy and Spain, which have a single style.

Coupled with Tottenham, Newcastle's overall strength is also steadily improving, making the Premier League more and more exciting and competitive.

It's safe to say that the Premier League will continue to expand its dominance over Europe in the next few years, and if nothing else, the next five to ten years will be the Premier League era.

'I'm very disappointed with the result, we should have done better, but today's game, from the very beginning, went into the rhythm of Tottenham and it was difficult for us to control the rhythm of the game in midfield and it was the key to our loss!

Conte looked frustrated at the post-match press conference, this game, Pirlo was controlled by Tottenham, he didn't have anything to do, I have to say, he is still a little younger.

"I want to congratulate my opponent, this defeat also reminds us that we need to be careful in the next games! However, I am still very confident that the group will appear! ”

How Juventus toss next is their own business, and now the whole Tottenham team has to enjoy the joy of this victory.

'It's definitely going to be very special for me to be back in Italy, I've been here for six seasons and it's here that I've won a lot of honours, and today I always felt good and excited, probably because we met familiar opponents, we have one more game against Juventus and when we get to White Hart Lane, I hope it's still us who will win!"

If Degan had said such a thing before this game, there would have been a lot of opposition, but after watching this game, I believe that all that people can say is that it is necessary!
